Some audiorecord and audioplay Application
Switches
The -p and -b switches to both the audiorecord and audioplay applications, as well as the -m
switch to audiorecord might be removed in a future Solaris release.
If a lename is not specied on the command line and standard input and output is not a tty,
both these applications will exit with an error. Any changes to audio volume settings made by
these applications are not persistent from one instance to the next. Users wishing to adjust the
settings of their audio devices should migrate to the mixerctl(1) and
gnome-volume-control(1) applications.
CD Media
The Solaris 10 OS might no longer be available on CDs in future Solaris releases.
Inbound Open Source and Third Party Vendor
Supplied Open Source Components Policy Change
When the Open Source Community stops the development of inbound Open Source
components like Mozilla, Sun will also stop all the development and support activities of this
product version. Sun will publish a Managed Products End-of-Software Support List (EOSL) at
http://www.sun.com/service/index.jsp and update the list monthly with the components
that will no longer be supported.
Mozilla 1.X Support
Starting from the Solaris 10 10/08 release, the Mozilla
TM
1.X software is no longer supported as a
result of the new Inbound Open Source components policy change. Users should upgrade to
Firefox.

SoundBlaster AWE32 ISA devices might not be supported in a future release.
